New Gmail Mail Fetcher Feature

Google, Tech Add comments

When I first heard that Gmail now lets you fetch mail via POP I wondered why it was important.

For a long time I got around this issue by forwarding email to a gmail account.

E.g. either:

  • dion@foo.com forwards to dion.foo@gmail.com and I download mail from the gmail pop server, or just use gmail. This means that you get the spam filtering of gmail for free
  • dion@foo.com forwards a copy to dion.foo@gmail.com and so you can use gmail for web access, and normal pop/imap on foo.com

This has worked fine until recently. When gmail put foo.com on the blacklist.

At this point all email being forwarded over was getting rejected. No more email.

The new mail fetcher feature means that this will never happen again. Ergh.
